Twelve Angry Men was a play on Broadway, and later made into a movie in 1957. It is about a jury in New York City that is deciding the guilt or innocence of a young man charged with murder.

Read the play, http://www.umass.edu/legal/Hilbink/250/12Angry.pdf, or watch the play,

https://youtu.be/ngbEpZ0tTjI. Consider the following questions as you read or watch:

1. What evidentiary issues are presented in this story?

2.How does the jury addresses these issues?

3.What Rules of Evidence apply?

Prepare an IRAC memo to the judge explaining your answers to these questions.Refer to the Federal Rules of Evidence (even though this is not a federal case) and cite relevant case law from New York in your answer.

In addition, explain in one or two paragraphs how you think the defense attorney failed regarding witness testimony of either the downstairs neighbor or the lady across the street.
